DV 2022 All Selectees (Consular Processing - CP)

Butters said:
It's not known. There has been some evidence that they're going by DS submission date still and some are going by the case number. The strong speculation is that there are two groups processing DS260s in both ways. However, note that we've seen 2 digit, 3 digit case numbers and also cases like 3k submitted in late June/July/... being processed. How do they manage the different regions and similar questions, noone knows or will ever know for sure. It's quite chaotic and they seem to be just taking the process much more seriously.

Another thing is that they were sending ready for scheduling emails days ago, but they haven't done it. Either they don't send emails when they process the forms or they're focused on scheduling and haven't processed or both. Or even maybe one group sends emails when they process DS260s but the other doesn't. Keep in mind the whole system updates going on.

Regardless, they were done with May submissions which accounted for about 40% of all submissions before the start of fiscal year. They used half of September, October, November and half of December (three months). This means it would've taken them by March to finish all the DS260s submitted before start of Fiscal year by the workforce at the time. So, given the increased workforce (Docs processing group re-positioned) , it would take them about that or less regardless of how they process DS260s. For example I submitted mid-September (reason for my obvious bias in the optimism) and the CN group processing will be processing cases in June/July/August/September (Majority submitted by here)/ . And the submission date group will go forward from June, so regardless there's always one less DS260 to get to mine.

Another thing I would speculate but can't be sure is that: They have the normal group processing DS260 by submission date. DQ people processing by case number. And some of these along with other group scheduling interviews. Given that they are trying to fill as many interview slots as possible, it's plausible that they also go by embassy capacity and if a current person has embassy capacity, process the person's DS260 quickly ahead of both queues and schedule him/her.

Anyways, I think by March they could be done processing the majority of DS260s and the details of this procedure won't matter to us as it did a month ago. Then, the important thing will be the scheduling of interviews and the effect of Covid variants on the capacities and etc.

Hi Butters,

Are you on the DV2022 tracker?
It'd be nice to add your case there so we have more data for analysis.

Yes you can. You don’t need to change the host’s address by the way.
 
Are court and prison records are necessary for the person who have been never convicted or prosecuted? Please share views who have been already interviewed?
 
Hi everyone,

We had our interview on Dec 5 and it went well, did not exceed 15 minutes. Yesterday (December 22), we received our passports with the visas. We are entering the US on December 31.

We have the following questions:

1- In the interview, we asked the consular officer to correct the name of the state in the address where the green cards will be sent. He said we could do this when we’re in the US. Can we correct the address when we arrive there at the airport?

2- We’re staying in a hotel for three weeks. Can we use the hotel address for green card delivery instead of the address we put in DS260?

3- We’re going to pay the green card fees before entering the US. After we pay, can we still correct/change the address when we’re at the airport?

4- We have an 8-year-old son. Can we enroll him in school before receiving our green cards?

5- Can you please recommend an insurance company where we can buy a visitor’s insurance for one month?

Many thanks for your help.

Sabrina

3) yes

1- Yes

2- you’d want it going to a more secure/permanent address. We arrived in October and received our green cards within 4 weeks (before we received our social security numbers). But it can take up to 90 days.

3- yes. We updated online when paying our fee before arrival (we set up a USCIS account). However, even though it was updated on the account when we arrived the border officer at the airport still had the old address so just updated it there and then for us.

4- no idea

5- yes, IMG offer health insurance for visitors and new immigrants. We got this until we arrived and then got normal health insurance once here. https://www.imglobal.com/visitor-insurance

Good luck with the move!

Probably depends on whether the chosen consulate is open. Several OC consulates are currently closed
